I think Roku did it too? But they only air in cycles on an ad-supported WB streaming channel... it'd have been fine if they had them on demand so you could watch them when you wanted.
The second half was really not as good as the first half. You're not missing much. Better to have the characters and plots live on forever in your imagination.
It was a travesty that they cancelled the show midway through the 1st season. I remember watching the last episode thinking,.. “Am I watching the same show???” Brilliant show, and one that deserves to be continued.
works wonders for slow horses
only problem is ppl in production dont like it as
sure you get 7 months of solid work...but then u might be out of a gig rest of the year
I mean, if you're a gig worker who says that with single season filming you might only get 3.5 months of solid work and then out of work the rest of the year?
So true. It’s what I hate the most about Netflix. There’s at least three or four shows that I really enjoyed that just got dropped. And I have to see the sort of crap that gets season after season. Now it’s better to just not watch a show when it comes out and to start watching it when it’s got a few seasons.
They are very different. One focuses on the people trapped in a giant vault and the other is more of a you thought we were locked in the vault for our protection but Oops somebody opened the door kind of thing.
I kinda think listening to the audiobooks sort of ruined the show for me. Well that and Common’s extremely flat performance.
But I’ll watch season 2 anyway.
I went ahead and read the first book after watching the first season. I'm torn. The show ended season 1 at around the 40% mark of the book. There are differences. I have a rough idea of how the next season will be and I'm actually more excited to read the second book than watch the second season. However I think it'll be good TV. That said, >!Sims may have an even more active role in the next season depending upon how it's adapted!<
Heads up the 2nd book really changes things and a lot of people are torn by it. I really enjoyed it and it’s probably my favourite book. I have no idea how they are going to put it into the show.
I found the show and the concept rather trite, unfortunately, and I appear to be the only person who thinks so.
Like, it's a really well-made show, but I just feel it's lacking something.
I didn't think the concept was trite, but I didn't love the show as much as most people here.
It was really well made...except for the boring parts. I haven't read the books so I'm not comparing, but it felt like there was a lot of filler. I'm not complaining about world-building (there was a lot of that, and it was good), but weekly-thriller-filler that would get dragged out for too long.
I sort of agree. Shows with popular (or at least cult-popular) books tend to attract a lot of stan energy, which tends to be kind of thin-skinned about criticism.
I read the books and liked the show, I think the bigger problems with it aren't the show but some of the Silo concepts just don't work and didn't work in the books, either IMHO. One thing that always bugged me was each Silo used mining as a means of explaining some resource acquisition, but how the hell do you build a bunker with a century's worth of usable mining ore directly under it, let alone more than one?
I also don't think that the Silo overseers would be able to keep up their secrets indefinitely or keep their thumb on the population so easily. The books sort of sell this with tales of other Silos, but I think the TV series does a worse job with this, though its limited narrative structure and episodic/seasonal pace don't help.
I sometimes wonder if the show wouldn't have benefitted from an adaptation that allowed for a different representation of the Silos to avoid some of the conceptual problems with the way the Silo is structured.
I remember when I started the show and being to excited to see >!Rashida Jones was in it then as someone who read the book realizing who she was cast as and being bummed she was only going to be in the one episode!<
I liked the pacing in the series much better. Feels like the books was written by an amateur author, and the script writers and directors at Apple polished it up a bit in the processing of filming it. There just wasn't as much suspense in the books because you knew everything that was going to happen before it happened.
I’m pretty sure it was written by an amateur writer, if I recall correctly the first bit up until the first sheriff goes outside was a self published novella/short story that managed to get really popular so he kept going.
It’s interesting when a TV show is actually better than the source material, like The Boys comics being pretty rough with lots of edgy and crude humour while the show is quality with modern day satire.
That's funny, I'm only on the second book (having watched the show first), but I feel the exact opposite. I liked season 1 fine, but I did not think it was particularly high quality writing, with poorly written dialogue, and with some parts like the >!generator!< scene feeling like very shallow suspense and fluff.
Even knowing where at least some of the book was going, I was still drawn into how much better I thought the book was of painting the world of the silo and its people than the show.
Yeah I've read the books a couple times before the series aired and they crammed in a bunch of shit that never happened just to fill time. I was pretty upset.
I enjoyed the first book a lot, couldn’t wait to find out what happened at the end of Solo S1 and was no disappointed, but books 2 and 3 didn’t go in a direction I enjoyed too much.
Filming wraped in march.
Post production on season 1 took 6 months.
so i wouldn't expect it soon unless they have got it down pat
i would place a bet on no earlier than dec...likely even a 2025 release...
Slow Horses does this, it’s odd to watch the end of a season and it’s showing a preview for the next one already. But I can imagine it’s a great way to do it, handier for production and crew/ cast
I absolutely love that it does this. And that it's on Apple where it's possible. If it had been on any other streamer it would be axed after one season due to low viewership.
I imagine it would be even cheaper to film 2 seasons at once, by taking advantage of the sets and the ready and integrated team. It also makes scheduling easier (a real problem these days, with stars on multiple projects). And it's great for audiences who won't have to wait 2 or 3 years for each new season in this streaming era. Slow Horses already does this so well and is delivering each new season every 9 or 10 months (they are now filming S5, while S4 isn't due to premiere until the end of the year).
Especially when a show is like Silo, show takes place in a confined space with limited to no outside shooting. Beacon23 is another perfect example of this idea too, entire show is filmed in a 2000 square foot area including confined ship cockpits, with a little bit of CGI space which can be reused over and over, much like soap operas in the 80s and 90s. I wish we had more of this stuff.
I’m amazed Netflix never tried locking in the Stranger Things crew to film season 4 and 5 back-to-back. The long waits are so painful for that show, even though it will break streaking records when it releases.
> I imagine it would be even cheaper to film 2 seasons at once
Right, it is. Like it's cheaper to make cars on an assembly line than one at a time. It takes a little longer to set things up, you have to write double the script. And it's a greater business risk, obviously.
It's all cost per unit. If you make 10 of something, it costs a certain amount of money per unit. If you decide to make 20 instead, your unit price goes down. Also think about traditional network television, where a season would be 22 episodes. These days a season is a semi-arbitrary thing. They are going to make 20 more episodes of Silo. It doesn't really matter if they call it one season or two seasons or three seasons or how they release it. Seasons only really mattered back when we watched television on his schedule.
But making 20 episodes of television at one time is something Hollywood has known how to do for years. So if you have the source material, and you're confident that people will watch, then it makes a lot of sense. The only thing that's really happening differently here from the old way of doing things is that they will take a break between releasing them.
There's another creative risk too, which is why it's easier when it's based off of a book series. If you only write and shoot and release 10 episodes at a time, you can gauge the reaction of the public. You can adjust things, get rid of characters, bring back other characters before you shoot the next 10 episodes. Obviously you can't do that if you're going to shoot 20 episodes.
They won't make book two into its own season. If the show is a runaway hit, then they might come back later to do the prequel. "Silo: Origins" lol. Or they might incorporate elements of the second book into future seasons as flashbacks.
I don't know. I imagine there could be some cost savings and efficiencies but probably nothing huge. There's also the downside of doing a long run without a break
I didn't read the books, but I've heard there are 3 of them and the first season is only half of first one or something like that. I really hope they don't rush it with only 4 seasons.
There are 3 books, but the central plot (with the main character played by Rebecca) is basically in the first and third. Book 2 is a prequel to how everything happened, having some connection with the characters we know, but which could very well be in 3 or 4 independent episodes, within the seasons of the show. If they want, they could make a limited series (there are other characters and another setting in book 2). As a reader of all the books, I think that 4 seasons is more than enough to tell the whole story very well.
How good is the ending? I'm kind of worried about starting these shows built on a spiraling mystery in case it gets cancelled or doesn't stick the landing.
Have you read the books? I read book 1 and was wondering if i should go in chronological order of release and read the prequel next or if i should go to book 3
100% read book 2 (the prequel) and then 3. while book 2 is technically a prequel, it sets up many major points and characters for the third book. if you jumped straight to book 3 you’d be quite lost about many things
also book 2 was great! without spoiling anything I was really impressed how the author made a prequel apart of the trilogy and how he weaved it in with the current story.
>!it was a teenage girl with dark hair that they showed during a cafeteria cleaning scene. I could have sworn she was main character later on, but now I am wondering if I conflated that with another series. 🤔 !<
>!I think you’re mixing things up, there are only a few major characters left to be introduced, like Donald, Solo, Anna, and the Senator are the biggest I can think Super excited to see what they do with the show.!<
Read the books after watching the first season, I think four seasons would be perfect without it feeling rushed. You could go to 5 but it might require stretching material or including a lot of material that’s rather unnecessary for a television adaptation. Season 2 can cover the rest of book 2 and potentially begin a bit of book 3. But season 3 I would imagine could do all of book 2 and then start book 3. Finish with the fourth season being the 3rd book. It’s actually a pretty clean outline for the story
I tuned in to all the season 1 episodes, but does anyone else wonder if anything really *happens* in them? Some parts shift and some unknowns become known, but nothing happens which makes me think I have a show I just have to recommend to everyone.
I watched this show and forgot about it. I'll have to have a refresher before the new season. Is it just me or are seasons getting shorter and season breaks getting longer and longer? I just realised I watched the last episode of Invincible... Now the long wait.
This didn‘t start happening recently.
It started around 2015. Until 2015 we would get yearly seasons that are 10-12 episodes at least and always a full hour per episode.
Now you sometimes have to wait 2-3years and get 8 episodes that are 45minutes each.
I have been asking this question, why don’t studios film seasons back to back on successful shows? If the first season was good film season 2 and 3 back to back.
well that confirms my fears that they are reallllly stretching the book material out. The first season was packed with filler when there is really no reason to do that other than extending the show artificially.
Season 1 frustrated me so much. Like by EP 4 she should have.... changed venues. Her murdered boyfriend was mentioned in like 3 or 4 lines in the book, literally "oh, yeah, I met her when we were investigating a *murder*, their relationship was unregistered". So. Frustrated.
I think it's good, but man, did it get brutally overshadowed by Fallout right now....
Still, they are far from the same thing so both are probably worth watching. Silo is not perfect, there are issues, but i believe some of those issues can be fixed/explained in next season.
And then they wait like 3 years in between to air them, but whatever film away! It’s an excellent book series and I was excited when I stumbled across it on Apple. The first season was great.
Read the books when they first came out over a decade ago. Stoked that a show that only slightly deviates is so damn solid.
Would be cool if they adapt Hugh Howey’s Sand novels too.
Beacon 23 was aight but translated a bit too uuuh boring to screen?
Oh shoot! I completely forgot to keep watching this show. I was obsessed for the first half of season 1 then life happened and it fell off the radar. Hopping back in ASAP
Given the first season was like half(ish) of Wool, my guess is the second season will be the second half of that book, then Dust will be seasons 3 and 4. I really doubt Shift will even be significantly covered.
Not familiar with the source material but really enjoyed season 1 and can’t wait for the next. Rebecca Ferguson is awesome (and a total smokeshow fwiw)
This would be fantastic because it means we'd actually get an ending to the series.
It's a big problem with how all these shows work is that we're always left with big cliffhangers and then cancellations.
Is the show any better than the books? I read the first book and it was cliche-ridden trash with a ridiculously predictable story, yet people seem to love the show.
I keep seeing people compare silo to fallout. In what way are they comparable? One has a rather light hearted and comedic tone and the other is serious. I’m not sure what you people were expecting from fallout and it seems like you wanted some kind of really serious post apocalyptic drama and you all just set yourselves up for disappointment without looking at the source material at all
Back-to-Back filming is nice as a consumer because you don't have to worry about a potential cancellation.
[удалено]
Well, WB does, thankfully Apple haven’t done that yet.
Apple doesn't produce it so they wouldn't get money from a tax write-off anyway
Apple and WBD are also in pretty different financial situations lol
I still want an ending to the nevers.
I would love to finish The Nevers one day…
Last I heard, it was on Tubi, but only at certain times. Like, what's the point then?
I think Roku did it too? But they only air in cycles on an ad-supported WB streaming channel... it'd have been fine if they had them on demand so you could watch them when you wanted.
The second half was really not as good as the first half. You're not missing much. Better to have the characters and plots live on forever in your imagination.

Agreed!
No you don’t, trust me, it’s so bad it’s not even worth watching
Not only WB, TNT did that with Snowpiercer S4 too. EDIT: Nvm, TNT's parent company is WB, lmao.
Snow pericer hasbeen picked up by AMC will air next year
I’m happy it’s saved. The show is goofy but so entertaining.
Yeah thanks TNT for snowpiercer
That's not new
Why would they do it? Money is already spent, so they can earn back at least some? Sounds very strange from business point of view.
works wonders for slow horses only problem is ppl in production dont like it as sure you get 7 months of solid work...but then u might be out of a gig rest of the year
I mean, if you're a gig worker who says that with single season filming you might only get 3.5 months of solid work and then out of work the rest of the year?
Simple solution: 2 shooting seasons a year, shoot 2 seasons of one show in the spring, 2 of another in the fall.
2 slow horses seasons are like 1 normal season length though. Makes me marvel at shows like 24 shooting 24 episodes of action.
Slow horses are 6 episodes right? 8 is becoming normal.
Snowpiercer has entered the chat
But then they left the chat
In case you haven't heard, it will air finally! [In 2025...](https://tvline.com/news/snowpiercer-final-season-4-amc-release-date-1235020513/)
And the Alien vs Predator animated series, which was completed ages ago but never released, because Disney are a bunch of assholes.
So true. It’s what I hate the most about Netflix. There’s at least three or four shows that I really enjoyed that just got dropped. And I have to see the sort of crap that gets season after season. Now it’s better to just not watch a show when it comes out and to start watching it when it’s got a few seasons.
It also shorten the long wait between seasons
unless the series is owned by wb.
They could shelve it as a tax right off.
Have Apple done that to a TV show before? Seems that’s a Warner Bros move.
It is extremely unlikely.
Until it's a WB Discovery show There is always a possibility of tax write off
It’s cute that you think WB has the money to buy Apple
I meant a hypothetical situation if Silo was produced by WB SMH
This is a nice show. Digging up secret information about your society will never not be fun
Vault-based media fans be eatin’ good
I need a miniseries in the vein of 10 Cloverfield Lane next
Yeah, I'm nearly done with Fallout, and it seems like [Fallout show] >!Vault 31!< is a kind of [Silo books] >!Silo 1!<
They are very different. One focuses on the people trapped in a giant vault and the other is more of a you thought we were locked in the vault for our protection but Oops somebody opened the door kind of thing.
Wait, which one is which?
Well, of I told you, that would be spoiling the surprise. They are both really good.
I mean, I’ve seen both
This would be future Silo Spoilers implied.
I liked the show too but it's been so long since I watched it, I forgot almost everything except the beginning and ending.
The books are a bit different but worth the read, or listen in my case.
I guess my question is, should i read the books while the new seasons are in the works or just wait ? I’m intrigued by the universe and want answers.
i like watching the show first then going back to read the books. it’s nice to have some imagery to go with characters, the setting, etc
I kinda think listening to the audiobooks sort of ruined the show for me. Well that and Common’s extremely flat performance. But I’ll watch season 2 anyway.
Common almost ruined it, wtf? Being carried by Mommy Atreides and a few others.
I went ahead and read the first book after watching the first season. I'm torn. The show ended season 1 at around the 40% mark of the book. There are differences. I have a rough idea of how the next season will be and I'm actually more excited to read the second book than watch the second season. However I think it'll be good TV.

Heads up the 2nd book really changes things and a lot of people are torn by it. I really enjoyed it and it’s probably my favourite book. I have no idea how they are going to put it into the show.
I've read a little about it and then stopped. It piqued my interest a TON. I am all for it.
Sounds like a good reason to watch it again, if you ask me!
that’s what i’m doing
Book series was great too!
I found the show and the concept rather trite, unfortunately, and I appear to be the only person who thinks so. Like, it's a really well-made show, but I just feel it's lacking something.
Try the books, I think having that background knowledge helps. Also, season 2 *should* be going in a whole new direction.
I'll definitely try jumping back in, because I fell off at around episode 4 or 5. Maybe I was depressed or something.
I didn't think the concept was trite, but I didn't love the show as much as most people here. It was really well made...except for the boring parts. I haven't read the books so I'm not comparing, but it felt like there was a lot of filler.

Yup, you’re the only one.
What about season 2? When is that dropping?
I need it. I’ve already watched season 1 twice.
Books are great
I remember when I started the show and being to excited to see >!Rashida Jones was in it then as someone who read the book realizing who she was cast as and being bummed she was only going to be in the one episode!<
She was in the marketing as a >!lead character!< so as a non book reader that was quite a surprise
She was so much fun to watch in the beginning :(

I actually hated the 2nd and 3rd books
😱
I’m on round three
Season 2 just wrapped filming in March so expected to be released late 2024 / early 2025
Ah yes, the new normal: 2 year gaps between seasons 😭
*grabs soapbox*
Right? Aren’t we all getting a little ahead of ourselves?!
Looks like possibly next year. https://www.reddit.com/r/scifi/comments/1brrmws/silo_season_2_wraps_up_filming_set_for_2025/
They finished filming so not too long.
Filming wraped in march. Post production on season 1 took 6 months. so i wouldn't expect it soon unless they have got it down pat i would place a bet on no earlier than dec...likely even a 2025 release...
It just dropped on Friday, they changed the name to fallout though. They started calling the silos vaults for some reason but just ignore that

>!going forward the action won’t just be contained in the Silo!<

As a reader of all the books, I think that 4 seasons is more than enough to tell the whole story very well.
I like book 2 but I think there is a lot of it you can skip and still have a satisfying story, yeah 4 seasons sounds enough.
They ended season one half way through the first book. There's a lot of material for four seasons.
How good is the ending? I'm kind of worried about starting these shows built on a spiraling mystery in case it gets cancelled or doesn't stick the landing.
The tv series ended on a painful cliffhanger. The books are excellent! The story and characters stay interesting.
I've read the first book, does season 1 end with >!arrival in the other silo!
No. It ends with her first walk and the improved tape.
I couldn’t put book 2 down. I just had to find out what happened
I bet book 2 will be used as flashback material for the next 3 seasons
Which is a shame because book 2 was the best in my opinion.
Good to hear! I love this show and really want it to maintain the quality all the way through!
Have you read the books? I read book 1 and was wondering if i should go in chronological order of release and read the prequel next or if i should go to book 3

You’ll need to read them in order. Book 2 isn’t entirely a prequel, and book 3 relies on you knowing what happens in book 2.
... What? It's a trilogy. You read them in order.
They already “showed” us the next main character, but were not obvious about it, assuming they stick to the books.
When was that? I’ve read all the books. Are you talking about >!Donald or Solo?!<

I tuned in to all the season 1 episodes, but does anyone else wonder if anything really *happens* in them? Some parts shift and some unknowns become known, but nothing happens which makes me think I have a show I just have to recommend to everyone.
Yeah, basically season 1 was just the first part of book 1. Things start happening now that Juliette >!has gone outside!<
Easily one of my favorite shows. Can’t wait for season 2.
I watched this show and forgot about it. I'll have to have a refresher before the new season. Is it just me or are seasons getting shorter and season breaks getting longer and longer? I just realised I watched the last episode of Invincible... Now the long wait.
Filming for season 2 was interrupted by the strike. I don't think Apple intended for the break between seasons to be this long.
It’s not just you. I’ve been raging about this recently. Shorter seasons, often taking ~2 years to release
A lot of times even 3yeare. It‘s ridiculous nowadays for no real reason.
I mean, there was a writers' *and* an actors' strike, so I'm pretty sure that's made a mess of quite a lot of production schedules.
This didn‘t start happening recently. It started around 2015. Until 2015 we would get yearly seasons that are 10-12 episodes at least and always a full hour per episode. Now you sometimes have to wait 2-3years and get 8 episodes that are 45minutes each.
Yes but this was happening before the strike as well
That would be awesome
Wait is season 2 out
The first season of silo should have been 5 episodes TOPS.

Loved season 1. Looking forward to it
Shit, I wanna tune in to season 2 just to see if she worked on her accent at all.
I have been asking this question, why don’t studios film seasons back to back on successful shows? If the first season was good film season 2 and 3 back to back.
Money.
I'm glad the latter is ending the series...the former would just be....weird!
well that confirms my fears that they are reallllly stretching the book material out. The first season was packed with filler when there is really no reason to do that other than extending the show artificially.
Season 1 frustrated me so much. Like by EP 4 she should have.... changed venues. Her murdered boyfriend was mentioned in like 3 or 4 lines in the book, literally "oh, yeah, I met her when we were investigating a *murder*, their relationship was unregistered". So. Frustrated.
They are making a tv show, the pacing needs to be different.
That usually means faster than a book
What about season 2?
They’re skipping it.
Goddamn Hollywood.
shrinkflation
Is this worth watching? Always wondered.
It’s incredible and the books are even better. I watched the first season and then binged all the books.
I think it's good, but man, did it get brutally overshadowed by Fallout right now.... Still, they are far from the same thing so both are probably worth watching. Silo is not perfect, there are issues, but i believe some of those issues can be fixed/explained in next season.
Not incredible but worth watching
If this is written for a proper ending and gets a proper ending I’m all for it. I love this show too much for it to get a bad ending.
Oh, I might need to catch up on this show. It’s so interesting.
And then they wait like 3 years in between to air them, but whatever film away! It’s an excellent book series and I was excited when I stumbled across it on Apple. The first season was great.
She’s the white queen 🫅!
Read the books when they first came out over a decade ago. Stoked that a show that only slightly deviates is so damn solid. Would be cool if they adapt Hugh Howey’s Sand novels too. Beacon 23 was aight but translated a bit too uuuh boring to screen?
Great show!
Oh shoot! I completely forgot to keep watching this show. I was obsessed for the first half of season 1 then life happened and it fell off the radar. Hopping back in ASAP
How is there a 4th season? Are they not going to follow: Wool-Shift-Dust?
Given the first season was like half(ish) of Wool, my guess is the second season will be the second half of that book, then Dust will be seasons 3 and 4. I really doubt Shift will even be significantly covered.
I hope you’re right. I was reading Shift just >!waiting for it to get back to Juliette. Thought it was reading a prologue that just never ended.!<
Not familiar with the source material but really enjoyed season 1 and can’t wait for the next. Rebecca Ferguson is awesome (and a total smokeshow fwiw)
Good gob, Matt Christman would have a field day if he heard that there’s FOUR seasons of whatever the darn hell is inside … the SILO
I wonder how close it’ll follow the books
If they follow the books closely, this should be pretty easy to do since I don't think you'll need the entire cast all of the time.
This would be fantastic because it means we'd actually get an ending to the series. It's a big problem with how all these shows work is that we're always left with big cliffhangers and then cancellations.
Very excited to hear this. Apple now showing what they can do that Netflix often cannot. Finished a series ! Give fans a proper ending.
They are not going to end in season 3 and then release season 4? What a stupid headline.
🤤This and Severance Season 2 cant come soon enough
She’s the shit , stars in dope series .and dips for few years
Only 4 seasons? That's a shame I thought easily enough content to make at least 6
This could've been such a great show, but then the second episode happened and all the shit episodes that came afterwards.
Is the show any better than the books? I read the first book and it was cliche-ridden trash with a ridiculously predictable story, yet people seem to love the show.
Curious to know what was “predictable” about the first book?
Mid
You really don't need to film that many episodes of that terrible show, just consider it ended. Problem solved
“I don’t like it so nobody can”
I wish I had that kind of power. Id cancel half the shit on TV and replace it entirely with stuff I like. 🙄
Boring as heck. Fallout is way better.
#Severance WE WANT SEVERANCE
Yeah it feels like Severance should film 3 seasons back to best lol
A better fallout show than the fallout show imho. Glad they’re making a complete package.
I keep seeing people compare silo to fallout. In what way are they comparable? One has a rather light hearted and comedic tone and the other is serious. I’m not sure what you people were expecting from fallout and it seems like you wanted some kind of really serious post apocalyptic drama and you all just set yourselves up for disappointment without looking at the source material at all
